Couldn't Make You Love Me

(album: Solid Ground - 2018)

I had a dream I was a river boat captain on the Brazos queen
3 piece suit, top hat, diamond cuff links
They came from up and down the river yeah just to kiss the ring
Of the man with his hand on the wheel of the Brazos queen

Yeah and you were there too
But you weren't impressed
You were laughing at me
I guess you couldn't care less

If I could move a mountain
If I could part the sea
If I could walk on water
I still couldn't make you love me

I had a vision I was sitting on a pile of Spanish gold
That me and Smith and Wesson took off back in Mexico
When the smoke finally cleared I rode as fast as a horse could go
Heading straight for the sun with a pile of Spanish gold

I brought it all to you
But you weren't impressed
You just laughed at me
Like you couldn't care less

If I could move a mountain
If I could part the sea
If I could walk on water
I still couldn't make you love me
Make you love me

When I woke up I was lying in a pool of sweat
I'd been hanging on a cross, holes in both my hands
Yeah and you were there too
But you couldn't care less

I could move a mountain
Yeah I could part the sea
Yeah I could walk on water
But I still couldn't make
I could move a mountain
Yeah I could part the sea
Whoa I could walk on water
But I still couldn't make you love me
Yeah I couldn't make you love me
